Well, 1/4 = 4/16.
So 9/16 - 4/16 = 5/16

9/16 - 1/4
=9/16 - 1*4/4*4
=9/16 - 4/16
=9-4/16
=5/16
therefore 9/16 - 1/4 = 5/16

you need to make the denominators the same so multiply 1/4x4/4 to get 4/16 and then subtract,,,9/16-4/16=5/16

9/16-1/4
1/4*4/4=4/16
9/16-4/16
denominators are same.so
9/16-4/16=9-4/16
=5/16
=.3125

ANS : -5/16
